Total Marine Fuels awarded LNG bunker supplier license

This is the third bunker supplier license issued by the marine industry regulator.

Total Marine Fuels Private Limited, the marine bunkering arm of the France-based Total group, was awarded a bunker supplier license by the Maritime Port Authority of Singapore, starting 1 January 2022.

This would make Total Marine Fuels the third awardee of the bunker supply license, following FuelLNG Pte Ltd and Pavillion Energy Singapore Pte Ltd.

“LNG is the best, immediately available solution to reduce our shipping customers’ carbon footprint and it paves the way towards carbon-neutral bioLNG and synthetic methane. We will continue to ramp up our investments to deliver competitive, reliable and end-toend LNG bunkering solutions for customers in Singapore and beyond,” said Total Marine Fuels vice president Jérôme Leprince Ringuet.

Singapore's LNG bunker supply capacity is up to one million tonnes per year.

“As the world’s top bunkering hub, the Port of Singapore is well-positioned to expand its offering of marine fuel solutions. LNG serves as a viable and clean transitional marine fuel to reduce carbon emissions from ships,” said Maritime Port Authority chief executive Quah Ley Hoon.

He added that the authority will continue to work with parties who want to take part in Singapore's bunkering economy whilst transitioning into more sustainable fuel.
